Anti malaria medication

Hi all

I've avoided taking any medication (besides Urso) since being diagnosed with PBC three years ago. I am perhaps over cautious but am always nervous that my liver won't absorb them properly. I am now planning a trip where I've been advised to take anti malaria pills. Does anyone know if it's safe for us PBC sufferers to take these? Any advice would be gratefully received.

I took them in 2007 with no ill effects. My doctor advised me of the safest to take with PBC so I suggest to speak to yours as in10 years things might have changed.
